The Marstons Mills resident was eliminated from the Fox talent show based on viewer voting. She had advanced as one of the final six contestants on the show but received the least amount of viewer votes this week.

The tension built for Magnus early in the elimination round show, when the 20-year-old found out she was in the bottom three contestants in the viewer voting. With a few minutes left on the Fox program, she learned her fate. She received the least number of viewer votes, sending her home.

Magnus wowed the Cape and the country with her belting notes, wild fashion sense and independent attitude.

More than 100,000 people originally competed to be on the show.

She performed one final live performance Wednesday night, singing “Think” by Aretha Franklin. It was the same song she impressed the judges with last month.

After Magnus performed her last song on “American Idol,” judge Randy Jackson urged her to keeping being herself.

“I think you have an amazing career in front of you,” he said.
